I don't think you can get a copyright on a piece of furniture. For the

Consider it a work of 'sculpture'. or other 'artistic work'.

DEFINITELY copyrightable. for the "*unique* creative effort" involved
in the realization of that artifact.


The key word is "furniture" which would be covered under a design patent.

Much unique and creative effort goes into designing an automobile but
